US Gross Domestic Product Shrinks 0.9% in Second Quarter as Investment  Slumps

US GDP KEY POINTS:

  • U.S. gross domestic product contracts 0.9% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, following a 1.6% decline in the first three months of the year
  • Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth is informally called a technical recession, but the government has a broader and more comprehensive definition
  • The deteriorating economic outlook may lead Federal Reserve officials to adopt a more dovish stance in the coming months to avoid a significant downturn

The U.S. economy failed to rebound and posted another contraction in the second quarter due to a rapid cooling of household consumption and steep drop in investment, a sign that the outlook continues to deteriorate amid mounting headwinds, including four-decade high inflation, and tightening financial conditions. According to the Commerce Department, gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced by a nation, shrank 0.9% on an annualized basis, following a 1.6% drop during the first three months of the year. Analysts polled by Bloomberg were expecting a 0.4% increase in real GDP.

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
